Rolls-Royce teamed up with designer iris van herpen to create the Phantom Collection.

"Phantom Syntopia Collector's Edition is Rolls-Royce's most outstanding Phantom Customization Haute Couture. With its unique features, this car highlights Rolls-Royce's position as a top luxury brand. Based on Rolls-Royce's sincere cooperation with world-renowned design studios, artists, clockmakers and jewelers for 20 years, Phantom Syntopia Collector's Edition has consolidated Phantom's luxurious position as an excellent blank canvas for customized haute couture. This time, together with internationally renowned designer and senior fashion designer iris van herpen, Rolls-Royce once again broke through the boundaries of innovation, craftsmanship and haute couture, showing infinite possibilities. The significance of Phantom Syntopia Collector's Edition lies not only in the model itself, but also in the entire luxury goods industry. "

-Torsten Muller Otvos, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

"For this special cooperation, I got inspiration from the concept of' weaving water patterns' and turned it into an immersive flow experience on the phantom car. I hope to use the most advanced technology to create a luxurious driving experience and let people feel the magical power of nature. The dynamic of the phantom and the infinite three-dimensional waves in the car complement each other, showing the ingenuity of nature.

When I met with Rolls-Royce Haute Couture Department, I found that Rolls-Royce was very similar to Gaudin Fashion. Like Rolls-Royce, every piece of fashion I design is tailor-made according to the customer's personal size, which is unique. Rolls-Royce customers were invited to Goodwood to participate in vehicle design and process manufacturing. Similarly, my client will try it on at the Amsterdam studio. On many levels, our cooperation is natural. "

-Designer Iris Van Hepan

Rolls-Royce Phantom Syntopia collector's edition has recently come out. Phantom Syntopia collector's edition was jointly created by Rolls Royce and iris van herpen, a famous Dutch fashion designer and high-definition designer. This exquisite and elegant model masterpiece is inspired by Gaoding fashion. Based on the Rolls-Royce Phantom Long Wheelbase Edition, this collector's edition is an excellent "canvas" for customers to show their individuality, and it is also the most complicated style in the history of Rolls-Royce customized haute couture. After four years of continuous research and development, this extraordinary and unique creative masterpiece has been completed and will soon become the private collection of Rolls-Royce's discerning customers.

The name of this collector's edition-"Syntopia" comes from the landmark fashion series launched by iris van herpen brand 20 18. This series is designed according to the principle of bionics, inspired by the patterns and shapes in nature, and uses a series of dynamic sculpture designs. Similarly, Phantom Syntopia collector's edition also tries to show the mysterious and ethereal beauty of fluid movement in solid materials through the theme of "weaving waterline".

"From the beginning, the cooperation between the two sides was a collision of creativity and talent. Both the creators of luxury goods have innovative vision and ambition to break through the boundaries of luxury design. The two parties work together to further tap Phantom's potential as an excellent customized canvas. Phantom Syntopia Collector's Edition takes Rolls-Royce's interior design to a new dimension with immersive experience and sculptural design elements, and its perfect engineering technology once again interprets the elusive and subtle beauty of natural forms. "

—— Gavin Hartley, Director of Rolls-Royce Custom Haute Couture Design

Unique appearance: rainbow car paint

In order to create an amazing shiny appearance, Rolls-Royce Haute Couture Department has developed a unique liquid black car paint. Paint is full of colors in the sun. From different angles, the background color is purple, blue, purplish red and gold. In order to achieve this effect, Rolls-Royce filled the deepest black paint surface with a coating containing mirror pigment, which has the property of color shift. In order to present a shiny effect, the team developed a new technology to use pigments in transparent coatings. This process has been tested and verified for more than 3,000 hours, and it took several months to build.

If you look closely, you can see that there are "woven water lines" on the hood of the car. In the process of spraying, the "weaving water pattern" formed by readjusting the pigment runs through the whole interior part.

Interior Kit: 3D Art

The interior kit of Phantom Syntopia Collector's Edition perfectly combines the characteristics of the expert team of Rolls-Royce Customization Haute Couture Department and iris van herpen design in creative and technical exchanges. Some interior elements are hand-made by top Rolls-Royce craftsmen and iris van herpen team members at the Rolls-Royce factory, while others, such as Gaudin Fashion designed by iris van herpen, are made in her Amsterdam studio.

As soon as the car door is gently opened, the line of sight immediately focuses on the "woven water pattern" starlight canopy, which is also the most complicated version of Rolls-Royce's iconic starlight canopy. Select the whole leather from more than 1000 pieces of leather and cut it symmetrically and accurately. Under the leather, the unique design of Iris van Herpen "Embossed Sounds" clothing series is adopted, and the silver "flowing metal" texture made of nylon fabric gives the starlight canopy stereoscopic vision. Iris van herpen's haute couture team made a special trip to Goodwood and spent nearly 300 hours weaving 162 petals made of glass organza on the starlight ceiling. Among the 995 dazzling optical fiber "stars", there are 187 artificially positioned around this artistic treasure, which shines in turn from back to front, showing a sparkling movement. It took more than 700 hours to build the starlight canopy alone.

The theme of "weaving water patterns" in Phantom Syntopia collector's edition also runs through the "art gallery" in the dashboard, which perfectly combines traditional high-definition fashion skills with innovative visual forms. This "treasure in art" gallery includes 85 petals, which was also created by iris van herpen's team in nearly 60 hours, and the artistic effect presented is amazing.

The picnic table of the car and the passenger side panel under the art gallery continue the design of "weaving water pattern" on the hood, which is realized by the combination of multi-layer paint and multi-layer bright paint with different glass particle content. First, use black paint containing 0.9% glass particles, and then use varnish containing 1.4% glitter to draw "weaving water pattern". The precise and meticulous process took more than three weeks. Prior to this, it took the design center four months and nine tests to achieve the perfect coating ratio, and finally achieved the excellent proportion of glass particles and accurate control of vehicle consumption.

A new chapter in fabric innovation

Phantom Syntopia collector's edition continues the exploration of fabric materials by Rolls-Royce Haute Couture Department. To pay tribute to Rolls-Royce's long history, Phantom Syntopia collector's edition features retro wear-resistant leather in the driver's seat and luxurious fabrics in the rear compartment. The front seats are made of magic gray leather, which exudes a unique elegant luster. The rear seats are made of special silk blended fabric and decorated with unique patterns, just like the reflection shining in the water at night.

The pattern of "weaving water pattern" in car seat quilting is inspired by the tufting technology used in high-end furniture, that is, the back of the fabric is stitched, which is full of three-dimensional sense and smooth and seamless surface.

Jonathan Simms, general manager of Rolls-Royce Customization Haute Couture Department, said: "After four years of unremitting development, Phantom Syntopia Collector's Edition shows the excellent skills, talents, enthusiasm for material application and perfect spirit of Rolls-Royce Customization Haute Couture Team. In order to realize the customer's vision, Rolls-Royce engineers and craftsmen stick to the same model and break through the boundaries in the pursuit of perfection. Phantom Syntopia Collector's Edition is the most complicated customized model in Rolls-Royce's history, and the cooperation with the excellent team of iris van herpen Studio is unforgettable. "

Immersive experience: sensory gain, double enjoyment of body and mind.

Phantom Syntopia collector's edition is outstanding in creativity, and it is also the first Rolls-Royce model to adopt Bespoke haute couture fragrance. The luxury experience permeates the five senses. This custom perfume was created by a professional perfumer nicknamed "Nose of Haute Couture Department" of Rolls-Royce Company together with customers. It is meaningful, profound, delicate and moist, and harmoniously complements the smell of materials in the car.

Rolls-Royce custom-made haute couture perfume experts tested a variety of combinations and finally determined the perfect proportion. The perfume takes cedar as the core fragrance, and the ultimate pursuit of personalized customization urges Rolls-Royce to choose cedar in its customers' hometown. The keynote is a combination of fluid-extracted iris powder and a small amount of leather, mixed with Patagonian roses and soft lemons.

Phantom Syntopia collector's edition has a specially developed fragrance dispersing device installed in the headrest. This patented technology uses innovative materials originally used in the medical field to ensure that the fragrance release dose is appropriate, delicate and lasting, and the charm is long. The research and development of this technology took more than two years, and it has been strictly tested in extremely cold and hot summer environment to ensure that the unique style of fragrance is elegant under any circumstances.

The perfect combination of top luxury and high fashion

In order to create a real high-definition fashion experience, iris van herpen designed a unique high-definition clothing for this car customer. The sculpture-like design language of the skirt echoes the theme of "weaving water patterns" on the dotted ceiling of Phantom Syntopia, showing a sparkling effect with the texture of "flowing metal", glass organza petals, laser cutting and hand-sewn patterns. This exquisite and elegant dress applies the latest high-definition fashion technology developed by iris van herpen, and it takes about six months to go through many processes such as pattern design, petal weaving, embroidery, fitting and cutting.

Phantom Syntopia collector's edition will be delivered in May this year and will be included in the private collection of customers. This customized and highly customized Phantom Syntopia collector's edition is unique and cannot be copied.
